If it was not for you Father God
Who would be listening?
In the dark of the night when I'm turning and twisting
From thoughts of some of the wrong I have done
(I am scared to tell most people I know for fear they may tell someone)
If it was not for you Father God
The dark of the night would swallow me like an abyss
But I know through the fog and the mist
If I confess my sins and repent, I still have a chance to be heaven sent
So I cry out to you Father God!
Please forgive me for the wrong I have done!
At the time I committed any offence, I call myself having fun
I really did not mean to hurt anyone
I have skeletons in my closet the size of dinosaurs
Please put a lock on the door, I do not want to look anymore
Inside I scream - make me a new human being!
So I can take my wings and soar
I do not want to be who I am anymore
So I cry out to you Father God - my arms outstretched
I am praying in the name of Jesus that you will save me next
Turn me upside down, shake me out and then play catch
Because I am a wretch, I confess, my life is a mess
I desire to be eternally blessed…add a new chapter to my life
This time I want to get it right - My future can still be bright
Today I accept Jesus Christ! Hallelujah is the highest praise
So I shout Hallelujah! Father God please change my ways
I step to you boldly and I am insisting
If it was not for you, who would be listening?
I am on a mission, I desire to change my lowly position
Answer my call, it is only you who cares
I confess you gave your only begotten Son so that
I could have an eternal one - so with you this confessional I share
Please accept this sinner's prayer!
